D-Bus has existed for about a decade if not more. As far as I can tell, ZeroMQ
has existed for a few years. Also, D-Bus is written in the fashion that
matches how the GTK API which is a C API. libdbus has lots of language
wrappers.
D-Bus is more for RPC than IPC which is an issue as there is no standard in
POSIX for RPC.
